Very nearly mentioned this in the video Brian but got to thinking that it’d start to get too lengthy for beginners. Worth another short of its own soon I think 👍
The tree tells me when it has recouped energy and needs its first prune: when leaves harden off and the cuticle forms. Good video, you're right, beginners do tend to prune too early and too often and nice show at the nursery.
I just take the centre tip out to encourage back budding, apart from 1 maple all my Maples are in full leaf and have been left out all winter.

Hi, thanks for that 👍

Thanks for watching Paul 👍
Useful information as always, Adam and Ash. You've convinced me to step away from the scissors for a few more weeks!
No problem Martin, thanks for watching 👍
Great advice, as usual. Enjoy the Spring. Thanks, keep growing
Thanks Matt, best time of year 👍
Pfft mine are still asleep up here in the north lol 😂
Going to me cold next week as well I think Rob. Thanks. Adam 👍
It’s my dilemma…I see some pale or yellow leaf inside the canopy and I have to pinch and defoliate early, with soft unmatured leaves 🥲
Certainly a question of timing Jota and not easy. Thanks for watching 👍
Ok the scissors are put away 😄
Won’t be long Matej and they will get some work ✂️ 👍
